Die hard

English to Serbian Other Other
Postoji li neki drugi prevod za ovu frazu osim "umri muški"?

Daryo Dec 21, 2018:
Is there any specific example where "die hard" was used that you have in mind?

In some general /context-free meaning is simply means "refuses to die / hard to get rid of/to kill", the most frequent use being:

"old habits die hard" = тешко је решити се укорењених навика // оне "одбијају да умру" ни глогов колац не помаже ...

"umri muški" NIJE prevod ...

yes for a "die-hard/diehard" (adj or noun) obstinate proponent of whatever ideology, but not for "die hard" (verb + adverb). Thanks!
agree Sladjana Daniels : Ili zakleti, nepopravljivi...
